Eje eshawofeemɔ lɛ shishi kwraa dani afɔ Ezekiel​—eyɛ kwraa po dani Israel ba shihilɛ mli​—ni ekã he eyɛ shihilɛ mli kɛbashi ŋmɛnɛ. Awie ashawo yoo nɛɛ he yɛ Biblia mli naagbee wolo ni ji Kpojiemɔ lɛ mli.

⁴ Yɛ ninaa ni Yesu Kristo jie kpo etsɔɔ bɔfo Yohane yɛ Kpojiemɔ wolo lɛ mli lɛ mli lɛ, bɔfo Yohane na ashawo yoo ko faŋŋ. Atsɛɔ yoo nɛɛ “ashawo kpeteŋkpele lɛ” kɛ ‘Babilon Kpeteŋkpele lɛ, ashawo yei lɛ anyɛ lɛ.’ (Kpo. 17:1, 5) Afii ohai abɔ ni eho nɛ lɛ, jamɔŋ hiɛnyiɛlɔi kɛ Biblia he nilelɔi enaaa mɔ tuuntu ni yoo nɛɛ ji. Mɛi komɛi kɛɛ edamɔ shi kɛhã Babilon, mɛi komɛi hu kɛɛ edamɔ shi kɛhã Roma, ni mɛi krokomɛi hu kɛɛ edamɔ shi kɛhã Roma Katolik Sɔlemɔ lɛ.

⁵ Abu ashawo yoo nɛɛ fɔ ejaakɛ ekɛ “shikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ maŋtsɛmɛi lɛ,” loo maŋkwramɔŋ gbɛjianɔtoi lɛ bɔ ajwamaŋ. No hewɔ lɛ, eyɛ faŋŋ akɛ yoo nɛɛ jeee maŋkwramɔŋ gbɛjianɔtoo.

Agbɛnɛ hu, ewaa Yehowa Nyɔŋmɔ tsuji anɔkwafoi lɛ ayi. (Kpo. 17:2, 3; 18:11, 23, 24) Ani jeee enɛ tuuntu amale jamɔ etee nɔ efee kɛjɛ blema aahu kɛbashi ŋmɛnɛ?

6. Mɛni hewɔ akɛɔ akɛ Babilon Kpeteŋkpele lɛ ji ‘ashawo yei lɛ anyɛ lɛ’?

⁶ Shi mɛni hewɔ atsɛɔ Babilon Kpeteŋkpele lɛ akɛ “ashawo kpeteŋkpele lɛ” kɛ ‘ashawo yei lɛ anyɛ lɛ’? Amale jamɔ mli egbala ewo kui babaoo amli. Ayɛ jamɔ kui kɛ sɔlemɔi babaoo ni anyɛɛɛ akane.

(1 Mo. 11:1-9) No hewɔ lɛ, jamɔi nɛɛ fɛɛ lɛ, abaanyɛ awie amɛhe akɛ amɛji gbɛjianɔtoo kome, ni ji ashawo kpeteŋkpele lɛ biyei. Bei pii lɛ, Satan kɛ jamɔi ni tamɔ nɛkɛ lɛ tsuɔ nii kɛlakaa mɛi koni amɛkɛ mumɔi ashãra, amɛjá amagai, loo amɛkpɛlɛ hemɔkɛyelii kɛ kusumii krokomɛi ni wooo Nyɔŋmɔ hiɛ nyam lɛ anɔ.

7. Mɛni hewɔ wɔboɔ kɔkɔbɔɔ akɛ ‘wɔje’ Babilon Kpeteŋkpele lɛ mli lɛ toi lɛ?

⁷ Ani obo nakai kɔkɔbɔɔ lɛ toi? Kaimɔ akɛ, Yehowa diɛŋtsɛ bɔ adesai bɔ ni hãa amɛnuɔ he akɛ esa akɛ amɛjá lɛ. (Mat. 5:3) Adesai baanyɛ atsu enɛ he nii jogbaŋŋ kɛtsɔ jamɔ krɔŋŋ ni amɛkɛbaahã Yehowa lɛ nɔ. Enɛ hewɔ lɛ, Yehowa tsuji tsiɔ amɛhe kwraa kɛjeɔ amale jamɔ he. Shi Satan Abonsam sumɔɔɔ nakai.

⁸ Yɛ Ezekiel wolo lɛ mli lɛ, Yehowa kɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ ni kɔɔ ashawo he lɛ tsu nii kɛtsɔɔ bɔ ni anɔkwa ni ewebii lɛ eyayeee lɛ lɛ dɔ lɛ ehã.

Yehowa wie yɛ Mla ni ekɛhã Israel lɛ mli akɛ: “Kaaná nyɔŋmɔi krokomɛi yɛ misɛɛ [loo, “kaaná nyɔŋmɔi krokomɛi ní okɛte shi owo mi,” shn.]. . . . Mi, Yehowa, o-Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ, miji Nyɔŋmɔ ni biɔ ni ajá mi kome too pɛ.” (2 Mo. 20:3, 5) Sɛɛ mli lɛ, ema nakai shiwoo lɛ nɔŋŋ nɔ mi yɛ nɛkɛ gbɛ nɔ akɛ: “Kaakoto nyɔŋmɔ kroko, ejaakɛ ale Yehowa akɛ ebiɔ ni ajá ekome too pɛ.

¹⁰ Bɔ ni afee ni wɔna sane lɛ naa lɛ, hã wɔkɛ gbalashihilɛ afee enɛ he nɔkwɛmɔnɔ wɔkwɛ. Wu yɛ hegbɛ akɛ ekpaa gbɛ akɛ eŋa asumɔ lɛ pɛ, ni ŋa hu yɛ nakai hegbɛ lɛ nɔŋŋ.

Nakai nɔŋŋ be ni Yehowa webii ni ejɔɔ amɛhe nɔ amɛhã lɛ akɛ amɛbaajá ekome too pɛ lɛ je esɛɛ amɛyajá nyɔŋmɔi krokomɛi lɛ, edɔ lɛ waa. Ekɛ hiɛdɔɔ wie bɔ ni esɛɛ ni ewebii lɛ je lɛ dɔ lɛ waa hã lɛ he yɛ Ezekiel yitso 16 lɛ mli.

11. Mɛni Yehowa wie yɛ bɔ ni Yerusalem je shishi ehã lɛ he?

¹¹ Ezekiel yitso 16 lɛ mli wiemɔi lɛ ji Yehowa naa wiemɔ ni sɛɛ kɛ fe fɛɛ yɛ Ezekiel wolo lɛ mli, ni eji gbalɛ wiemɔi ni sɛɛ kɛlɛ fe fɛɛ yɛ Hebri Ŋmalɛ lɛ mli lɛ ateŋ ekome. Yehowa wie Yerusalem maŋ lɛ ni damɔ shi kɛhã Yuda ni yeee anɔkwa lɛ he. Etsɔɔ bɔ ni Yerusalem je shishi mɔbɔmɔbɔ kɛ bɔ ni sɛɛ mli lɛ, eje esɛɛ eyajá nyɔŋmɔi krokomɛi yɛ gbɛ ni hãa mɔ naa kpɛɔ ehe nɔ. Eje shishi akɛ abifao ni bɛ yelikɛbualɔ, ni he ewo muji ni akwɛɛɛ lɛ. Efɔlɔi jɛ Kanaanbii ni jáa wɔŋ lɛ ashikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ. Anɔkwa, Kanaanbii lɛ amaŋ ni ji Yebusbii lɛ ye Yerusalem nɔ be kplaŋŋ kɛyashi David ye nakai maŋ lɛ nɔ kunim. Yehowa na nakai abifao lɛ mɔbɔ, eju ehe, ni etee nɔ ehã lɛ nɔ fɛɛ nɔ ni he hiaa lɛ. Sɛɛ mli lɛ, ebatsɔ tamɔ ŋa kɛhã lɛ. Anɔkwa, kɛjɛ Mose gbii lɛ amli tɔ̃ɔ Israelbii lɛ jɛ amɛsuɔmɔ mli amɛkɛ Yehowa kpaŋ kpaŋmɔ, no hewɔ lɛ Israelbii ni bahi Yerusalem sɛɛ mli lɛ yɛ kpaŋmɔ nɛɛ shishi lolo. (2 Mo. 24:7, 8) Be ni Yerusalem batsɔ Yuda maŋtiase lɛ, Yehowa jɔɔ lɛ, ehã etsɔ niiatsɛ, ni ehã ehe fee fɛo, tamɔ bɔ ni wu niiatsɛ ko ni ji hiɛnaanɔ gbɔmɔ lɛ kɛ hewulamɔnii fɛfɛji wulaa eŋa lɛ.​—Eze. 16:1-14.

12. Mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ fiofio lɛ, Yerusalembii lɛ bɔi amale nyɔŋmɔi jamɔ?

¹² Kadimɔ nɔ ni ba yɛ enɛ sɛɛ. Yehowa kɛɛ akɛ: “Okɛ ohiɛ fɔ̃ ohefɛo lɛ nɔ, ni otsɔ ashawo yɛ gbɛ́i ni ohe lɛ hewɔ. Okɛ mɔ fɛɛ mɔ ni hoɔ lɛ bɔɔ ajwamaŋ, ni ohefɛo lɛ tsɔɔ enɔ.” (Eze. 16:15) Yɛ Solomon gbii lɛ amli lɛ, Yehowa jɔɔ ewebii lɛ ni ehã amɛná nii, ni no hã Yerusalem batsɔ maŋ fɛfɛo fe fɛɛ, anɔkwa ebatsɔ maŋ ni he gbɛ́i waa yɛ blema je lɛŋ fɛɛ. (1 Maŋ. 10:23, 27) Shi fiofio lɛ, mɛi bɔi amale nyɔŋmɔi jamɔ. Akɛni no mli lɛ, Solomon miitao ni esa eŋamɛi ni jɛ maŋsɛɛ lɛ ahiɛ hewɔ lɛ, ehã abɔi wɔŋjalɔi anyɔŋmɔi lɛ jamɔ ni ekɛbule Yerusalem.

Te Yehowa na ashawo nifeemɔi ni tamɔ nɛkɛ kɛ anɔkwa ni amɛyeee lɛ lɛ ehã tɛŋŋ? Ekɛɛ akɛ: Ofee “nibii ni esaaa akɛ afeɔ, loo eyaa nɔ po.” (Eze. 16:16) Shi ewebii ni egba afã lɛ fee nibii ni yɔɔ nyaŋemɔ po fe enɛɛmɛi!

13. Mɛɛ efɔŋ Nyɔŋmɔ webii ni yɔɔ Yerusalem lɛ fee?

¹³ Susumɔ bɔ ni Yehowa webii ni ehala lɛ anifeemɔ lɛ dɔ lɛ waa kɛ bɔ ni efee lɛ taŋ lɛ he okwɛ.

Ogbe mibihii lɛ ni ohã amɛtsɔ la mli akɛ afɔlei.” (Eze. 16:20, 21) Nibii ni hãa ŋmiŋmi mɔɔ mɔ ni Yerusalembii lɛ fee lɛ hãa wɔnaa bɔ ni Satan yitsoŋ wa hã. Esumɔɔ ni elaka Yehowa webii lɛ koni amɛkɛ amɛhe awo nyaŋemɔ nifeemɔi amli! Shi Yehowa naa fɛɛ. Nyɔŋmɔ baasaa nibii fɛɛ ni Satan efite lɛ, ni ebaaye jalɛ sane.​—Kanemɔ Hiob 34:24.

14. Yɛ niiamlitsɔɔmɔ ni Yehowa kɛhã lɛ mli lɛ, namɛi ji Yerusalem nyɛmimɛi yei enyɔ lɛ, ni nyɛmimɛi etɛ nɛɛ ateŋ namɔ fee efɔŋ fe fɛɛ?

(Eze. 16:34) Nyɔŋmɔ kɛɛ akɛ, Yerusalem tamɔ “enyɛ,” ni ji maji ni jáa wɔŋ ni be ko ni eho lɛ amɛyɔɔ eshikpɔŋ lɛ nɔ lɛ. (Eze. 16:44, 45) Be ni Yehowa tsaa sane nɛɛ nɔ lɛ, ekɛɛ akɛ Yerusalem nyɛmi yoo nukpa ji Samaria, mɔ ni tsɔ hiɛ eyajá nyɔŋmɔi krokomɛi dani Yerusalem hu fee nakai lɛ. Nyɔŋmɔ tsĩ enyɛmi yoo fioo lɛ hu tã, ni ji Sodom, ni yɛ sane nɛɛ mli lɛ, akɛ Sodom tsu nii yɛ mfonirifeemɔŋ ejaakɛ nakai beiaŋ lɛ, akpãtã Sodom hiɛ jeeŋmɔ yɛ ehenɔwomɔ nifeemɔi lɛ kɛ ejeŋba sha lɛ hewɔ. Nɔ ni Yehowa tsɔɔ lɛ ji akɛ, Yerusalem fee efɔŋ fe enyɛmimɛi yei, ni ji Samaria kɛ Sodom po! (Eze. 16:46-50) Nyɔŋmɔ webii lɛ booo kɔkɔbɔi srɔtoi ni akɛhã amɛ lɛ toi ni amɛtee nɔ amɛfee nyaŋemɔ nibii.

15. Mɛɛ yiŋtoo hewɔ Yehowa kojo Yerusalem lɛ? Ni mɛɛ hiɛnɔkamɔ ehã amɛná?

¹⁵ Mɛni Yehowa baafee? Ewo Yerusalem shi akɛ: “Miibua osuɔlɔi lɛ fɛɛ ni ohã amɛmii shɛ amɛhe lɛ” anaa ni “mikɛ bo baawo amɛdɛŋ.” Yerusalem tsutsu nanemɛi wɔŋjálɔi lɛ baakpãtã ehiɛ, amɛbaajie etadei lɛ kɛ ehewulamɔ nibii fɛfɛji lɛ yɛ ehe.

Mɛni hewɔ? Ekɛɛ akɛ: “Mi diɛŋtsɛ makai kpaŋmɔ ni mi kɛ bo fee yɛ ogbekɛbiiashi gbii lɛ amli lɛ.” (Eze. 16:37-42, 60) Yehowa tamɔɔɔ ewebii lɛ, no hewɔ lɛ, ebaaye shi ni ewo amɛ lɛ nɔ kɛmɔ shi!​—Kanemɔ Kpojiemɔ 15:4.

Nifeemɔi nɛɛ ekomɛi ji amimyeli kɛ heloonaa nibii asɛɛtiumɔ, ni yɛ gbɛ ko nɔ lɛ amɛji amagajamɔ lɛ. (Mat. 6:24; Kol. 3:5) Esa akɛ wɔda Yehowa shi waa akɛ ejɛ mɔbɔnalɛ mli eto jamɔ krɔŋŋ shishi ekoŋŋ yɛ naagbee gbii nɛɛ amli, ni akɛ eŋmɛŋ gbɛ kɔkɔɔkɔ ni abule lɛ dɔŋŋ!

¹⁹ Akɛ nɔkwɛmɔnɔ lɛ, kadimɔ akɛ toigbalamɔ ni akɛba ashawoi ni yɔɔ Ezekiel gbalɛi lɛ amli lɛ anɔ lɛ jɛɛɛ Yehowa ŋɔɔ tɛ̃ɛ, shi moŋ, ejɛ jeŋmaji ni Nyɔŋmɔ webii ni je esɛɛ lɛ kɛ amɛ yabɔ ajwamaŋ lɛ nɔŋŋ aŋɔɔ.

Ejaakɛ Nyɔŋmɔ diɛŋtsɛ ‘kɛbaawo amɛtsuiiaŋ koni amɛtsu eyiŋtoo he nii.’​—Kpo. 17:1-3, 15-17.

20. Mɛni tsɔɔ akɛ kojomɔ ni abaakojo Babilon lɛ baafee naagbee nɔ?

²⁰ No hewɔ lɛ, Yehowa baahã jeŋmaji lɛ atsu kojomɔ ni ekɛbaaba amale jamɔi fɛɛ, ni Kristendom jamɔi babaoo lɛ fata he lɛ anɔ lɛ he nii. Kojomɔ nɛɛ baafee naagbee nɔ; akɛ jamɔi nɛɛ ateŋ eko eko he ekeŋ lɛ, ni amɛnáŋ hegbɛ dɔŋŋ ni amɛkɛbaafee tsakemɔi.

(Kpo. 16:14, 16) Ezekiel wolo lɛ hãa wɔleɔ bɔ ni amanehulu kpeteŋkpele lɛ baaya lɛ ahã lɛ he nii babaoo, ni wɔbaasusu enɛ he yɛ wolo nɛɛ yitso ni nyiɛ sɛɛ lɛ mli.

Ebaaŋɔɔ enaa waa akɛ ebaaŋɔ hegbɛ fɛɛ hegbɛ ni ebaaná lɛ koni ekɛhã wɔtsi wɔhe kɛje jamɔ krɔŋŋ he, ni wɔkɔ gbɛ ni tamɔ nɔ ni ashawoi ni awie amɛhe yɛ Ezekiel wolo lɛ mli lɛ kɔ lɛ. Belɛ, esa akɛ wɔkai akɛ, Yehowa ekpɛlɛɛɛ ni ajá nyɔŋmɔ kroko yɛ esɛɛ! (4 Mo. 25:11) Esa akɛ wɔkwɛ ni wɔtsi wɔhe kwraa kɛje amale jamɔ he, ni ‘wɔkata nɔ ko’ ni Nyɔŋmɔ buɔ lɛ akɛ ‘ehe tseee he.’ (Yes. 52:11) Yiŋtoi ni tamɔ nakai nɔŋŋ hewɔ wɔfeee pɔlitis, ni wɔfiii afã ko sɛɛ yɛ maji ateŋ béi ni yaa nɔ yɛ je ni mli egbala nɛɛ mli lɛ. (Yoh. 15:19) Wɔnaa maŋhedɔɔ nifeemɔ tamɔ bɔ ni wɔnaa amale jamɔ ni Satan woɔ mɛi hewalɛ ni amɛkɛ amɛhe awo mli lɛ nɔŋŋ, ni wɔtsiɔ wɔhe kwraa kɛjeɔ he.
